To (11M wit/mt it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN GIBSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Noroton Heights, in the county of Fairfield and State ofConnecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inDischargesGhutes for Coal Carts or iVagons, of which the follow ing is aspecification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same. 7

This invention relates to coal carts and Wagons; and the object thereofis to provide'improved means for discharging the coal from vehicles ofthis class; and with this and other objects in view the inventionconsists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of partsherein described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate partsof my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters ineach of the views, and in which-- Figure l is a rear end view of a coalcart or Wagon provided with my improvement and showing the method of itsoperation; Fig. 2,

asimilar view, partly in section and on an enlarged scale; Fig. 3, asection on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 a plan view of a detail ofthe construction.

1n the drawings forming part of this speci-' Secured to the bottomportion of the bed or body a, at the rearend thereof, is a transversehanger 5, composed of ordinary T-iron in the'form of construction shown,and resting on the hanger Z) and running longitudinally of the cart orwagon body and beneath the same and parallel therewith is asupplemental-support b consisting of an I-beam or similar device, andmounted on the supplmental support 6 and movable longitudinally thereofis a 'slide 0, provided with an upwardly-directed pivotpin 0 on which isplaced Serial No. 198,888. (No model.)

a cup-shaped support (Z, the bottom of which raised or conical in form,as shown at J, and provided with a central opening (Z through which thepivot-pin 0 passes, and passed through the top of said pivot-pin abovethe bottom of the cup-shaped support 63 is a of the body a? of the cartor wagon is a stationary shield g, composed of metal and covcred so asto inclose the usual opening h, formed in the rear end of the bodyportion of the cart or wagon or in the tail-gate, and

this opening is closed by a vertically-movable slide-door 1 1. in theusual manner, said door being operated by a lever if, pivoted to the endof the body of the cart or wagon, as shown at if, and connected with thedoor 7& by a link 72.. The shield gis intended to prevent the coal fromscattering as it falls from the body of the cart or wagon in the usualmanner and drops into the chute f.

In the form of construction shown the telescopic chute e is composed oftwo parts, and the support (1 thereof is adapted to slide freely on thebeam 6, and the part c of said chute is adapted to be extended when theparts are i in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3 trans versely of thepavement, so as to dischar -re the coal into a coal-hole 2'.

In Fig. l I have shown at j a portion of a street and at j a part of apavement adjacent thereto, and'the coal-hole i is in said pavement, andin practice the cart or wagon is drawn up adjacent to the pavement orsidewalk, as shown in Fig. 1, and the chute in the keepers e isextended, as shown in said figure. 7 The door 71 is then raised, and.thecoal is discharged through the opening 1/ into the telescopic chute eand slides thereihgfilo parts of she chute.
